THE RAILROAD INVESTIGATION.

Whatever else may result from the in
vestigation now being conducted by a
special commission of the Federal Govern
ment into the affairs of the Central Pacific
Railroad Company, this one inestimable
benefit has been conferredupo the public
it has given the company the first full and
fair opportunity it has enjoyed to make a
complete statement of its case, free from
preiudiced objections, technical obstacles,
and preiudgmest, and thus TO remove a
vast deal OF misapprehension, and TO cor
rect world of Misrepresentation.
So far as it has progressed, the investi-
CATION has certainly established in all
sincere and unbiased minds, the conviction
tha. the equities of the company are of the
strongest possible character, such as ought,
with fair and honorable creditors, to so far
prevail as to secure an adjustment that
will do neither the debtor nor the cred
itor injury. 1t is unauestioned that,
whatever the foresight of the National

State. But the Normal Schools, which
are devoted wholly to the training OF per-
sons for the important offices of instruc-
tors, stand out boldly among the many
instrumentalities employed to place the
educational system of the State upon the
plane ofthe highest excellence. We have,
therefore, given considerable space to the
presentation of the article referred to- and
for which we bespeak an examination.

OUR SUGAR SUPfIIEs.-American
ought to be the sweetest people on the
earth if as has been asserted, food goes to
make the race. Perhaps they are when
not electing President or discussing fish
cries. The quantity of sweets landed at
this port during year would amaze any
one who has not given the subject special
attention. 1t would appear that Ameri-
cans are preserved in sugar, aAoat on rivers
Of saccharine. From West Indies black
strap TO golden syrup, from dainty lady
fingers to solid pound cake, from molasses
candy to solid bonbons, Americans beat all
other people as absorbers of saccharine,
the French not accepted. No adequate
idea OF the enormous quantity of sugar con-
sumed in this country can be conveyed by
statement in pounds. The figures, how
ever, indicate that Uncle Sam has tre-
mendous sweet tooth. The total sugar
importations for the year 1886 amounted
to 2,49S, $4,000 pounds, or about 600, 900
tons, valued at S71,604, ,69S. To this tre-
mendous aggregate Cuba alone contributed
1,2Ol ,503, 900 pounds; Brazil sent DDS, ,062,-
600 pounds, Germany (beet sugar) 203,-
2SS, 900 pounds, and the Sandwich Islands
free sugar., 19l, ,623, 900 pounds. Smaller
quantities were imported from the West
Indies and other countries. To the aegre-
gate of imports must be added the
domestic product to find the total con-
sumption of sugar in the United States
Nce York Sun.

The Band Of Robbers.

On last Sunday morning Pitts
burg was the scene of one of the
most startling sensations of the
times.
Between midnight and day
light OF said date no less than fifty
six of the employees of the Pan
Handle r.. r. were arrested and
put in jail, charged with systemat-
icly robbing the freight trains of
said road. Each one of the sus-
poets is held in default of $4,000
bail and the Gelkerson detective
agency which worked up the case
claims to have positive proof
against each of the arrested parties,
and in fact stolen goods was found
on the person or in the possession
Of each. The goods stolen consist
of fine cigars, revolvers, cutlery,
silk handkerchiefs, books, laces,
clothing, dry goods, and many
other articles all of which are the
most expensive quality. The
robberies it is claimed has been go
ing on for months and perhaps for
years.

Rats!

AS we write the above brief
headline our mind runs on the re-
mark of one of our citizens, to the
effect "That the town Is infested
with u vast army of rats, and they
are becoming an intolerable nui-
sance." We were impressed with
the saying and in accord with the
idea, but the practical question re-
MAINS; What are we going to do
about it?
In casting about for n cause of
their great numbers we must adj
nit that while they are an inflic-
ton almost too heavy to be born,
yet. there is the useful side to the
rodent also.
The rat is great scavenger, and
their great numbers in towns and
cities is accounted for by the fact
that great quantities of house slops
and refuse provisions are cast out
from every kitchen, which furnish
es an allurement and a feast for
this pest.
Were il not for this this the rat
with his insatiate appetite, would
seek some other home where PROV
ender is more plentiful and corpo-
raj danger less. Mankind derive
their benefit from the rat eating
this refuse, which if left to decay
in the sun would breed disease,
pestilence and death.
What then is the remedy for the
pest? Why remove the cause
which makes every place having n
dense human population paradise
for the rat in which they grow i'm
pudent sleek and fat.
In this regard we can be aided
by the city authorities.
Let an ordinance be passed en-
powering the Marshall or Health
officer TO require each family to
provide recepticle in some con-
venient place in which all waste
from the kitchen shall be depos-
tied, and let the town employ
man to attend regularly every two
days and gather it up and haul it
outside the corporate limits. We
believe were such Il course resorted
to, it would not be long before par
ties would vie with one another for
the privilege of so gathering the
slops as food for hogs. If however,
it cost something, it would be mon
ey spent for the comfort of com
munity and the health of our town,
as we'll as lessening the rat pest.

to provide for the form Of estab.
fishing the guilt of such person and
defining the methods by which q
license should be declared forfeited,
and the mere declaring of liquors
"kept on hand" as u misdemeanor,
render the bill, in the estimation OF
the Governor unconstitutional, and
upon this point he has the backing
of the Acknowledgement. The con-
stitutional right Of any citizen to
keep liquor on his premises the
Governor thinks should not be in
terfcrred with.
There are other objections to the
measure but they appear to us of
miner Importance.

The Current Against Them.

While the Republican leaders are
straining every nerve in the hope
that they will be able to break the
"South South" at the election of 'SS,
the probability of their losing the
Solid New England is every day
becoming more and apparent.
Rhode Island went Democratic at
the recent election, and that event
insures the repeal of the odious
"propcrty qualification" of the right
of suffrage, and will make that lit
tie State solidly Democratic for
years to come. Massachusetts is also
likely to give a majority for Demo-
Gratis, while New Hampshire, Yer
mont and Maine have lost their old
time Republican majorities. The
attempt to grasp the Southern
States reminds us of the dog with
the piece of meat in his mouth
which saw his reflection in the
water, and in his anxiety to possess
all the provender he saw, let go of
the piece he had.

The Color Line.

Just what good the recruit Re-

We believe the law as it stood was
a statue sanctioned by nature and
good morals.

A FIRE in st. Augustine, Fla, on
last Tuesday destroyed three hotels
an ancient cathedral, an old slave
market and other property, the
total aggregating Il quarter of a
million dollars in value. st. Angus
tine is the oldest town ON the con-
tinent. 1t is historic in every as
pect. Its slow growth would indi-
cate that this blow will be severely
felt, but the fame of the old town
as Il winter resort is widespread,
and new hotols will doubtless take
the place of those destroyed.

IT is hard to ride two horses at
any time, and especially hard when
the horses are going in opposite di-
rections. In riding the. Prohibition
horse in Michigan the Republicans
have offended tho German voters.
Now that Prohibition has been de-
feated it is proposed to recover lost
ground by making a high whisky
and low beer license. The Teuton
loves his beer, but he will hardly
walk back into the Republican
camp on such shallow and hypo-
critical inducements.

Partisan Platitudes.

Senator Sherman's homily to the
young Republicans of Philadelphia
has a decidedly chestnutty flavor.
Admonitions to "educate the rising
generations" to secure equal rights
for all" to aid workingmen to "rise,"
and to "hail with unbounded salts
faction every advance of our coun-
try in strength and power" are
deadly dull generalities. The per-
ennial Presidential candidate
might with equal aptness have adj
monished the young subjects of
Bosses Cameron and Quay to obey
the commandments and keep their
faces clean.
The views of Senator Sherman
that the country is interested in re-
late to concrete subjects, not to alb
stractions--to living issues, not to
stale food for fools. One such such
subject and issue is the collection of
unnecessary and unjust war taxes.
On this the Ohio Senator has re.
Gently expressed himself. He
would have these taxes, like the
poets brook, "go on forever" And
the surplus, be it $l00,O0O,OOO, or
S2OO,OOO,OOO, he would spend, under
the direction Of the three houses
of Congress-the Senate, the House
and the Lobby. If the taxpayers
of the country approve of this pol
Icy they may possibly elect Sem
nator Sherman as Pfesident-Nep

PinkertOn's Barred Out.


HARTFORD, Con, April 12.-The
state senate yesterday, in concur
renee with the house, passed the
bill described as the prohibition of
'Pinkerton detectives. 1t forbids
the appointment as special police
within the state of any persons not
residents of the state as constable,
police, etc.
